Double Chocolate Cookie Bars
INGREDIENTS:- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Set aside 6 cookies and grind the rest in a food processor or blender. In a small bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and butter until well blended. Press into the bottom of an 11x13 inch pan. Over a double boiler or in the microwave, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips together with the condensed milk and vanilla (when using the microwave to melt chocolate be very careful because it will look like its not melting, but it really is - use the microwave in short times and stir in between - I usually do it 30 second intervals). Stir frequently until smooth. Spread evenly over the crumb crust. Sprinkle the remaining cup of chocolate chips over the top. Break remaining cookies into pieces by hand and sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Chill completely before cutting into bars or it will make a big mess
This kids will love this cookie - you can even add different flavored chips or crumbled candies.

Reps: 932,070,385,434,337,024 (power: 932,070,385,434,395) | | I try to add a cookie of variety each year. This year we are trying this unique recipe.
Chocolate Mint Cookie
INGREDIENTS:- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 36 chocolate mint wafer candies (Andes candies)
DIRECTIONS:- In a large pan over low heat, cook butter, sugar and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partially melted. Remove from heat and continue to stir until chocolate is completely melted. Pour into a large bowl and let stand 10 minutes to cool off slightly.
- At high speed, beat in eggs, one at a time into chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients, beating until blended. Chill dough about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Roll dough into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes. While cookies are baking unwrap mints and divide each in half. When cookies are brought out of the oven, put 1/2 mint on top of each cookie. Let the mint sit for up to 5 minutes until melted, then spread the mint on top of the cookie. Eat and enjoy!
Tips: When you're done mixing the batter, it has a brownie type consistency. After your refrigerate for an hour its a hard, but it rolls nicely. Make the balls small. Watch the oven and take them out when they're puffy and no longer wet looking. Place half an Andes candy on top as soon as it comes out of the oven, and when it starts to melt (which doesn't take long), blend it on top to create an icing.
These taste just like Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies! They're fantastic!

The shortbread cookies are fantastic! You will love them. They are one of my favorites - I love sitting and eating them with a nice cup of coffee.

Reps: 24,380 (power: 33) | | OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they are dangerously good! I just got done with the first batch. I doubled it. Cooked the 1st half plain and now the 2nd I put pecans in. Using powedered sugar instead of regular sugar definitely makes them lighter and very easy to work with! Thank you very much and my waistline thanks you as well  |
